Day 13 of my 5 minutes Bible Reading focused on Bible verses about the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1; Luke 11:13; John 14:26; John 16:7-14; Acts 1:5; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 4:8; Galatians 5:16; 1 John 2:27).
Acts 1:8 doesn’t just promise power, it immediately CONNECTS that POWER to a PURPOSE. “You will be My witnesses…” Ibig sabihin, the Holy Spirit doesn’t empower us para lang gumaan ang buhay or maging emotionally charged. He empowers us to represent Christ WHEREVER we go…home, work, online, church, school, friendships, and even in uncomfortable spaces.
Minsan iniisip natin kailangan maging PREACHIR, LEADER, or WORSHIP SINGER para maging witness. But being a witness is NOT ABOUT A TITLE, it is about living in a way that reflects Jesus. When we respond with kindness instead of pride, when we forgive instead of retaliate, when we share hope instead of gossip, yun ang evidence ng Spirit.
The disciples didn’t stay gathered after receiving power, they were scattered to different places to carry the message. That means our location, season, and circle are not accidents. May assignment doon.
Today, I am reminded that having the Holy Spirit is a CALL, not just a COMFORT. The goal is not to feel POWERFUL, it is to FULFILL A PURPOSE.
